Poll: Do boy racers gather near where you live?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A teenage boy was reportedly knocked out for about 15 minutes and suffered two broken arms after he was struck by a car at a boy racer invasion in the Waikato.

Fireworks were also shot into nearby farmland and a brawl broke out after an estimated 500 to 600 people gathered at the intersection of Great South Rd and Horotiu Bridge Rd, north of Hamilton in the early hours of Sunday morning.
